A morning in the heart of the Ternes district

9h. Breakfast in a design hotel

Close to the Champs-Elysées, the Passage Doisy, cobbled like Old Paris, surrounded by lofts and beautiful buildings, hides theHôtel Doisy and its breakfast under the Paris sky. On the 1st floor, a veranda-lounge, always bathed in light, offers a breakfast "made in not too far away", where you can eat good, organic, local and gluten-free if you like. On the menu: jams and teas made in Paris, cake of the day, croissants and pains au chocolat from the best local bakers, soft-boiled eggs, French cheeses and homemade granola.

10h. Unusual architectures

Destination Parc Monceau, one of the most elegant in Paris. Leaving the Hôtel Doisy, takeavenue des Ternes, turn into rue Daru and stop at number 12, in front of the Cathédrale Saint-Alexandre Nevsky. A landmark of the ^17th arrondissement, it was the first Russian Orthodox church to be consecrated in Paris, in a beautiful neo-Byzantine style. Then turn off at rue de Courcelles and stop dead at 48, the address of the Maison Loo Chinese pagoda. This building, inaugurated in 1926 by a successful art dealer, has been converted into an exhibition space for Chinese art in the heart of Haussmann-style Paris.

Best children's entertainment at the Puppet Theatre. Best shot of romantic Paris on the Pont de pierres.

One of the capital's oldest private mansions (1896), it is entirely dedicated to the arts of the Far East: China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam.

13h. Bistro cuisine

An alternative to the sandwiches of the Marché Poncelet: Les Gourmets des Ternes offers a postcard of working-class Paris.

Among them: Jack Nicholson, Johnny and even Clara Morgane. 60 years of history and 60 years of ordering: mayo eggs, rib steak and a salad of French fries. For dessert, stop by Fondant Baulois, a 2-minute walk from the Hôtel Doisy, and enjoy La Baule's iconic chocolate cake.
